Water puppets

Water puppets

The show lasted around 45 minutes and was very entertaining. If not for the plot (it was in Vietnamese), then for the music and the intricate puppetry.

The plot was easy to follow with little scenes lasting 3-4 minutes maximum, each with their own story to tell.

Before we went to this puppet show we read reviews and a handful were saying that they couldn’t believe there was no English translation (really?), or “a little context would have been nice!”. Honestly, no “context” is needed to get the point of the scenes.

The music is performed live and you can find yourself watching them instead of the puppets because of how good a job they do.
